Confused John McCain Asks Apple CEO Why He Has to Update Apps

Today's congressional hearing on Apple's Irish tax-dodging has included a lot of impressive browbeating—it's nice to see Tim Cook taken to task. What doesn't help the issue is Senator John McCain chuckling with Cook about how his gosh darn iPhone updates apps all the durn time.

You can't grill and guffaw in the same breath, Mr. Senator. It was a strange turn for McCain, who'd otherwise been riding Cook through the entirety of his questioning—spoiled somewhat by the Quirky Grandpa routine that capped it off. [video via TPM]
